找不到外部jar的Spring配置* .xml文件

Question

I have a jar x which has a class like

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ImportResource;
@Configuration
@ImportResource({ "/WEB-INF/assembly/appconfig.xml" })
public class DSPPlatformCommonSiteDefConfig {}

Now in a different project altogether, I have added this jar as a dependency.

And import this class like:

@Configuration
@Import(DSPPlatformCommonSiteDefConfig.class)
public class ApplicationConfiguration {

}

So basically, I am using Spring configuration file of a jar in my project.

But when I run my application I get this error:

Message: java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [WEB-INF/assembly/appconfig.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [WEB-INF/assembly/appconfig.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [WEB-INF/assembly/appconfig.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist

I do not understand why it is looking in the classpath. And even if it does, the jar IS in my classpath.

Your problem seems to be at the path declaration for the location inside the @ImportResource annotation. The path should be the URI of the file which must not be the one that you declared.

An example could be the following path:

@ImportResource(locations={ "file:com/yourProjectName/assembly/appconfig.xml" })
